I must say, like a mad hatter will do, he amplified a feeling many of us have, and in this case, have expounded uncountable times, that,"every day I wake up, is a great day!". And finally, I can only hope I have a friend, such as you, to see me through my trials.

I once talked him into hitchhiking back to Detroit in 1980 from N.Y. and that in itself was quite an adventure. He would call me and always invite me to Ann Arbor so I could hang out with him at The Second Chance on Mondays when he would D.J. and because of him I saw so many great bands, and to be his pal meant the world to me. No one could ever take his place on this Earth.

He was going to MC for me again. We had big plans for 2011. I worked with Stanley at Nectarine back in the day. He was one of my biggest fans as I was one of his biggest fans. He was the best lighting guy and MC that I ever worked with, I can only imagine what the light show in heaven is going to look like. I guess we'll find out soon when the first thunder storm hits in the spring. I'm sure Stanley will be involved and it will be one of the best light shows ever.

I had a really hard time creating the tribute for him. It took me all day. I am sad for me as I will miss him so, but I am happy for Stan as he was suffering more than anyone ever knew. He hated hospitals and doctors and he didn't want to be lingering in one. He died in his own bed surrounded by the dog he loved and his prized possessions.
